Mouse and touchpad move at different speeds

Question

I have a compaq 610 running windows 7, and I use a USB mouse on it.

The pointer speed is different for the mouse and the touchpad, so when I go to a meeting and take the notebook but not the mouse, the pointer moves too slow using the touchpad and I have to manually adjust it (of course when I return, I have to slow it down because the mouse would move the pointer too fast).

Is there any way to fix this, or to have this setting separate for both devices?

You can use Automatic Mouse Switcher, wich is Free (GPL) and automatic.

I think these might be exactly what you need: Mouse Switcher and Mouse Speed Switcher.

Another choice is to use AutoHotKey which is completely free. See this forum thread or this superuser question. I used it and it works well for me, I set F12 to switch between slow and fast speeds.
